    Too many to count...or more like afraid to count to figure out the investment. Note the front to back orientation...I need to drink more.

    Around 60....i started cellaring beer a couple months back. I would be a lot higher but i love to take multiple bottles Bi-weekly to share with others who haven't had some of the rare stuff. Still a lot of people out there who haven't experienced a sour.

    Looks like I have 140 to 150 12 oz and about 30 bombers in the fridge and maybe 60 to 80 12 oz stored away. This is down from maybe twice this many in storage. I've made a concentrated effort to lower the stock, but looking at all of the new releases, it don't look good!

    131 12 oz and 13 bombers, including 69 that I haven't tried before. The problem is hearing about something new, stopping in to pick up a bottle, and getting distracted by all the shiny new beers I haven't tried yet.

    A stupid amount too. Nothing like massaging the figures to keep the wife happy though.

    I have approximately 65 22/750s and about the same amount of 12oz bottles. Probably 80% of those are Brett/sour homebrews, though. I really only buy multiples of or hang onto bottles I want to drink with a good buddy of mine.

    The bulk of my bottles are a mango sour, Belgian style sour with Sauvignon blanc grapes, a Brett porter, a sour brown, and a Brett oaked tripel also with Sauvignon blanc grapes. I haven't opened either of the latter two and the others I open every six months or so, so they tend to stack up.

    Too many. Two packed wine fridges and many many boxes I the closet. The closet bugs me because the temp ranges from 64 in the winter to low 70s on the hot days the AC can't keep up. I've read the closet is fine as long as not a big temp fluctuation but it still worries me.

    Like many of you, I buy more than I drink of the beers that are fun to put away. If I stopped drinking ipa I would make a big dent. M

    i have about 150 in my "cellar" and probably 20 in the fridge that are ready to be drank. im also moving into a house in a couple weeks with a proper basement, so of course ill have to buy more beer to turn that basement into a cellar.

    Getting dangerously close to 300 bottles; need to slow it up a bit (and/or drink more :wink:). Of course, a recent trip to Portland didn't help matters much...

    I'm not sure. Maybe 300 bottles. I keep storing the stouts and drinking the IPAs I buy so more than I need but enough to have a bunch of people over and treat them to a good night?!! It's getting to be that I get too lazy to put it away cause I buy so much. Oh well, first world problems.

    I'm just in a buying mode now and have been for the last four or five months. Hopefully this spring I'll get smarter and spend my money on SCUBA. I just need to meet a beer drinking group. I'm a loner/introvert.

    I could use about 6 of the fridge shown above or at least 3 dedicated fridges. Thank god I figured how to get a space in our house down to roughly 58F. I just need to put some plastic in front of it to get it down to 55F

    Don't know, haven't had a desire to count. However, I did just find out that my wife went to count and got to 300 before she became annoyed and irritated enough to stop. If I had to guess it would be somewhere near 500, but I could be off(just don't know if it's over or under shooting).

    My cellar hovered around 250 bottles for a long time. Within the past few months it's been consistently under 200 (which I still feel is very high for how much I want to actually cellar). I just had a trade land today which put me back over the mark. Now I'm at 201.

    I've been trying to drink this down, but I'm fairly comfortable around 100.

    No clue just a rough guess
    60 12oz
    80 22oz
    150 750
    3 magnums

    I though, love love LOVE sending extras in trades. Such a great feeling to send people rare extras, so I send a lot out pretty often.
